A little brain-drained at the moment, and will be for a while longer, but here are some flittering thoughts.

I once heard these words a long time ago: In life, there is a very thin line between "bitter" and "better". She might be right.

I've come to the conclusion Lady Life likes to throw a few crooked punches, just to keep us on our toes. She rarely follows the rules; she makes up her own details or loopholes as she goes along. We're only left to keep up the best we can, sometimes tripping on our own feet along the way.

But many times, it'll be a call between "bitter" and "better". Somewhere along the line, there'll be something that'll hit you hard. To be frank, there have already been somethings for me. And then, it's up to you. Will you choose to be bitter? Or will you choose to be better?

It's often too easy to step back and cry foul at something unfair. It's so simple to throw one's hands up and say, I don't want to play anymore. And is it ever tempting to hide in one's room nursing one's hurt knee instead of trying again, limping. But each choice made determines who you are.. and maybe it's not a matter of bitterness and betterment, but it does come to how you choose to take what life deals you.

There are some regrets for everyone, I'm sure.. but I don't think I regret that I regret. And there are some mistakes made, but I hope that I've learned not to repeat them. And there are somethings I wish I'd not done, but if I had not, I might not be here.. with the bad and the good. In whatever I have done, I hope that if it's a call between becoming bitter or becoming better.. I hope I'm leaning towards better.
